2/11/06
well yesterday the band had a practice, and ..it was good.
alec is gimp so he couldn't bring his guitar so he played mine and i pretty much just sang. but it was awesome. we are well
on our way and (like i always say but never comes true haha just kidding) so close to getting a show done. the last song were
working on is about half way to a little more done, and the rest of the songs are becoming more "routine" to play. we fixed
up the one thing in boogy man too ( idon't remember if i ever mentioned it but hte middle was a little messed up but we got
it).
anyway so yea it was a cool practice.
after practice we sat aorund n hung out and we were thinking up a name. it's a
long (not too long) story and i already wrote it in the purevolume site, and it's not even that interesting, but we finally
came up with "scrye" so that's our band name now. we might change it later or not we don't know. we're gonna fool around with
it and see what happens. we probably will make new websites and stuff but we don't know yet. ill post it up if our webiste
changes (not like anyone cares but yea).
also george found a friend that'll do our recording for us so we'll probably get
started on htat once alec is no longer gimp ( a couple weeks?) which will also be around the time we get our first show in.
so we'll see how it goes.
later

wow..well alec me and george had a practice today and it was so freaking sweet.
we are coming along pretty well *knock on wood*. we will be playin pretty soon i can guess.
we've got my fire, RUI, boogy man, and the hopeless pretty much all almost done..some
just gotta work out some kinks but thats all in all....yayish
were gonna start reality soon...and then uh...practice ADD which is changed to
george doing death metal singing haha and i'll drum it..
then alec n i gotta practice the untitled acoustic song and then were ready for
a show ...so it'll come soon...again..*knock on wood*
ahh well we made3 those live recordings at practice today but they're so blurry
but if u no wats goin on then it sounds sweeeet.
yea and were starting to consider recording the four songs we do know..possibly
reality too if we get to it and maybe ADD for kicks w/, again george singing death metall haha, we've got some plans for that
and ideas where to do it etc...so we'll see...maybe finally have a real demo who knows...
hmmm so.. yea sweet chives were gonna practice on sunday and brad'll be there hopefully
so it's all good...we'll see what happens
hmm delicious
oh yea i met george's dad today..yay haha
yea... ok im done
cya
amir
12/20/05
wow..
george me and alec practiced today (brad is in troubllllle oooooo ) so
he coudn't come....
yea so the earplug thing worked out pretty well....we can hear each other a lil better and alec fooled
around w/ his sound so its clearer now too.
BECAUSE brad is sorta kinda in trouble we don't know if were gonna move the gear to his place or not
we might leave it at mine for a while... it worked out pretty well anyway.
yea well anyway we wont be having practice for a lil bit for vacational purposes so yea we'll continue...after
that.
any way it was really sweet though....
george is
really catching up n pretty fast..
we have like about 3 songs done pretty much and 2 are being worked on so after
that we only have to do reality....and were ready to do a show...
so.. we'll see where it goes. im really happy with the progress..good job guyes.
i dunno...w/e ...blah.. well see what happens ;)..things are moving along pretty
well (knock on wood)
cya round
amir
12/17/05
well...since i got my cast of i can play guitar now..the four of us finally got
a full band practice in yesterday and it was like 4 hours long. which was a lil too long because ya can't learn drums for
too many songs in one day. but it's cool. we have like 1 done and 1 almost done and another one kinda halfway or more done.
also george can play smells like teen spirit on drums so we played that for fun and we did like self esteem a little bit but
got bored. anyway so yea, before now we hadn't had a full practice in a while and so we were pretty much (not really but kinda)
starting over with the drums but he remembered stuff as we went along. we wanna make the song's drums good so were taking
time on it. all i know is if we keep this pace up we should be playin shows pretty quick. problem is that we need to find
a way so george can hear the guitars better b/c my basements acoustics are gay and it gets all blurry when we play loud...were
workin on that. if we solve that this will be even easier/quicker.
welp that's it for now
later
amir
12/14/05
well george is in the band now in case i haven't said it enough, he's drummin.
we haven't had much practice yet but during winter break (like 3 days) were gonna hit it hard nad i have a feeling its gonna
be kickass.
um...songs...well as i've said again and again the recordings on here suck and
yes we all know. nevertheless, it's all we got. these are all pretty old. were gonna actually take time and make a SERIOUS
demo either spring break or summer...or sometime in between...it'll most likely end up being summer though. then you all can
listen to that and hear what we sound like.
well im glad to see they've added more space for us to put music up....not that
we have any other recordings but i have some live stuff and other unfinished things the bands workin on so...hmm...
sweet chives..
amir.
11/4/05
well, me alec n george had practice, brad could'nt come b/c he had swim practice...were working on our
songs and its coming along pretty well..no new songwriting for a while, we probably wont do anything new untill we get a gig
in b/c were gonna be working w/ george untill then..for the record george is amazing at drums so eat it raw. he's a great
addition to the band and ,in my opinion, makes us sound 10 times better..w/out you we would be just...the band w/out a drummer...welcome
to the band.
yea so were workin on it
SUCK IT
peace
amir
p.s...WE WILL BE CHANGING THE NAME SOON NOW THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE A THE BAND COMPLETED, THE FOUR OF
US ARE GOING TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING...so look out for that.
10/29/05
well...me and george got together today and worked on some stuff...and actually
almost finished up my fire and hopeless for drums which i was pretty surprised we'd get that done but we did...so were just
gonna keep working hopefully w/ the full band next time and we'll be up and running before ya know it.
also tommorrow's the day that we start recording hopefully it'll turn out good and hopefully we'll finish
em up too..we'll see
peace
amir
10/15/05
wow, again, it's been a while.
ok so with the drummer thing...i don't know wat's goin on i'll let anyone who cares know once i do.
on a side note... we've been writing some new songs and fixing up some others...once we finish them
all up and touch em up i'll put up a discogrophy or something.
As of now we have a total of 10 songs once were done with all of them and were not stopping, we have
a couple more to work on after.
Also, i think were gonna start recording soon minus the drums for our stuff but still, were gonna get
everything else in.
As of getting a gig, were debating whether to do one w/out a drummer but it probably wont end up happening....hopefully
we get this drummer thing straight.. ah well
peace
amir
9/7/05
since alec is such an amazing loser i decided to update the news (ha just kidding my love..wait what?)
hmm again, a long time.
well we never did the gig..we lost the drummer but got him back again so..were kinda where we were again.
BUT
were starting up on this new song possibly being called "inner beast" its heavyer than anything else
we've done and its hitting the borderline (if not passing) of what were used to so it will be interesting to see where we
go with it. im thinking (and hoping) it'll be a success :) . but we'll see.
so..in the meantime were going to work on catching george up (again) and at the same time work on inner
beast. and we've got some more songs just waiting to be make into their own songs (every song is carefully picked from the
finest groves in florida and tenderly taken care of and shipped to Ohio).
ummm duuuurrrr
is that enough alec?
=)
oh yea...i THINK (im not sure) we might make some more demo stuff for our other songs, like... reality
and boogy man? and we have a rough version of inner beast since i had to make it in order to show the guyes how the song went...so
..that might become a project i do'nt know yet (and brad is going "ahh shit not again" haha).
alright that's all i can think of for now
PEACE(es)!!

damn, its been a while. well we've been busy so no time to update. well here's
the scoop. were working on some new songs so those'll be done soon and we have a couple done. WE GOT A DRUMMER! finally this
time. George Pelc is our official drummer and he's going to play at our FIRST GIG. were finally going to have our first gig.
its at orange street. august 13 (saturday), its at 7:00pm - 7:30 pm. its six bucks to enter and tell them your there to see
us when they ask just so we can ge tanother gig there or something. anyone who comes will be appreciated by us and hoefully
u can spread the word and bring some friends too. thank you. if you need directions or an adress to the orange street
let me know..... well thats all i can think of for now so ill cya ya'll later.
5/31/05
well this was different. this weekend (on sunday) we actually had a band practice
with a drummer. mike spencer. were thinking about letting him in but we still need to play with him a lil more (if ya no wat
i mean ;) jk). yea so b4 he came by, we worked on 2 songs in the making, caleld egle and secret agent man (as of now).
those are the 2 closest ones to being done next...if that made any sense. we've got a tun more tunes and can't wait to make
them into songs. but we gotta slow down a lil to let mike catch up with us. so we'll see what happens...
were planning on doing some gig's this summer so stay tuned to find out. ill have them here, on the
purevolume website, and on my my space website @ www.myspace.com/gholizadeh
peace!
5/17/05
hm..
well
no more demo. drumming was messed up (my bad). were going to finish up ADD and my fire but not even
worry about reality b/c i did the drumming WAY to fast. so i mean even though were making the 2 song demo i don't know if
we'll be passing it out or not. oh well we'll see.
also battle of the bands is cancelled for anyone planning on going. (not us). uh.. thats it. we haven't
really done much lately and this weekend im going to NYC for a weeding so no practice this week....were kinda on a "vacation"
if you will but i'd rather be jamming. yup..
WE STILL NEED A DAMN DRUMMER
5/6/05
alright well, not too much going on. we are starting to make our actually demo CD. which wont have all
five songs, it'll have 3 : reality, ADD, and my fire. today i went to brads to do the drums and some gutiar and he's going
to do some bass. alec is gonna come next week and were all gonna finish it up and it'll be all good, so we'll see how it is...
WE STIL NEED A DRUMMER
4/22/05
well we decided not to do battle of the bands after all...for many many resons. it has actually been
good though. we have pretty much perfected out songs and now there is a lot of relief and not as much pressure. we had practice
today and we did some of our songs, and worked on a lot of new songs. yea were back to writing again :). weve got a lot of
stuff in store that's looking pretty good as of now. as we did this stuff i noticed we've all improved massivley (for anyone
who cares or is actually reading this....shame on you, you should be doing somthing more productive). but ya we all have.
also again, we think we may have a drummer. Todd Elsworth might join so we're going to see how that goes. Also, now that were
not doing Revere's Battle of the Bands, we will have more time which means we will make that demo CD that ive been talking
about for a whlie. so a lot has been going on and i think were all pretty satisfied with it (knock on wood).
4/04/05
alright well we lost our drummer AGAIN. so were still looking for one. i dunno what it is. we can't
find someone to stick w/ us. maybe we smell bad....
anyway
yea well taht's pretty much it. brad and i jammed yesterday but we were kinda out of it n didnt' get
much done. i don't tihnk were gonna get a drummer in time for Battle of the Bands so i don't know what were going to do. if
you drum PLEASE let me know asap so we can get started.
3/31/05
k. well we have a sleepover practice from yesterday to today. it was REALLY productive. alec n i jammed
and came up w/ some stuff before and after the rest of the bands was here. also we finally got to work w/ shu..our new drummer
YAY! (sorry nick you just never seemed to want to come to a practice n were running low on time man). shu konws ADD and most
of reality. he learned it in one day w/out barely konwning how the songs went so that's realy cool. we just need to get the
rest of the songs down and master of puppest in the next month and we will be ready for batlle of the bands....ya kinda stretchin
it but i think we can do it. besides that...we got alot of practice in and obviusly played w/ a drummer. so were all learning
to play w/ each other ....and for those of you who took that hte wrong way shame on you...we don't do that type of stuff at
practice......
anyway
ya so ...we never did make the CD but we did record all the songs on my crappy recorder but a different
way so you can actually almost tell what's going on. that's going to be the "CD" for now untill later when we make a real
one. its got the same songs on it and the qualitys not too bad like i said.
a lot going on in NRN, that's why we continue to be...
the place to be
have a great day
- Mr. Surace (Revere Middle School Principal)..sorta kinda..ya im done-.
3/28/05
k well a couple days ago the band decided to get a drum set so after lots of door to door shopping for
a couple days we found the cheapest one we could find. i used it to actually figure out hte drums for our songs and its
turned out great. we are now completely done w/ the 5 songs were doing for battle of the bands. all now that needs to be done
is to teach shu ( our newest thought of being a drummer) those 5 songs and master of puppets. so hopefully he can do it. we'll
see. besides that, the three of us recorded all our stuff a little differently so the quality turned out better so i might
put some of our songs up. were having practice almost everyday this break so we should be ready for battle of the bands by
the end of it (hopefully, that's myour goal.)
tha'ts it for now
PEACE!
3/24/05
well so much for that. nick bailed on us and so i didn't get to work with him. i don't know if its going
to work out w/ him being our drummer now b/c i still haven't heard him play and he's going to Florida. not his fault though
btu besides that i just don't see the dedication in him (not like anybody cares this is pretty much just for nick but ok back
to the news if anybody actually reads this). anyway so were on the search again. were thinking abotu Shu but we don't know
yet. besides that, this spring break, alec brad n i are going to perfect our songs and also have a looooooong recording session
to get all our songs on a CD....that EP i have posted up everywhere. were gonna do this one seriously and hopefully it'll
turn out nice enough taht we can distribute them to people and put them up on our website and the purevolume site. so we'll
see how that goes...im doin this in typing class b/c im bored ...n i don't think theres much else going on lately. but we
all are getting a lot better and our songs are coming along pretty well. brad n i r gonna jam tnoite...maybe alec'll come.
tommorrow were haveing our practice (friday) to perfect our songs. then coming monday is hopefully the day we'll record. so
keep your eyes peeled for our first CD (for the couple fans we actually have).
3/16/05
well a lot has been happening lately. WE FINALLY GOT A DRUMMER! and i think its for good this time.
his name is nick luther thank you nick! so ya brad alec and me (amir) had a practice last weekend and we just played our lineup
and recorded it. were finally starting to finallize the other 4 songs we have so they're pretty much finalized but were still
touching up on it. master of puppets is coming along pretty well..but it still needs work. this weekend im going over to nick's
house and were going to work on some drums for our songs and maybe....just maybe.. ill put the final version of reality on
here w/ the drums. if i can record it. were gonna do the other songs too but that's top priority...and puppets. im finally
gonna be able to edit movies adn stuff (hopefully soon but im in the proccess) meaning i can also
make music video's or tape gig's or soemthign so maybe the video section will start filling up....maybe. all is well in the
land of no relation as we get to our bones and prosper...what?
oh ya and this spring break we plan on having lots of practices so by then we should have everything
good for BATTLE OF THE BANDS!! (dundundun)
then we can start back up again on the other songs' were working...we've got a few in the making = )
2/18/05:
Well today brad and i had a mini practice. alec is in florida so he coudln't come. brad n i went through
the lineup and got everything straightened out. we also finally finalized the boogy man and did hte final touches today...which
is a good thing. tommorrow we are going to record it at brad's house so he can use it for his school project thing. we also
did ADD last weekend. so then we'll have 2 songs on our demo thing..=) yay. drummer's still undecided on wats going to happen.
this weekend sometihng im going to take brad and shu (ya he's back in the drummer picture) to guitar center b/c they're having
a big sale and maybe we can get some new gear =). so yea its all good.
ya so this is the next day...
so we go there n its fun. i get my wireless cable n get alec one. afterward brad n i work on the bad
habit music video i need for school. we also finalize the hopeless and reality. so now we just have to get alec caught up
after being on vacation and we'll have all 5 our songs finalized w/out drums though...but besdies the drums their all done
:)
2/06/05:
well, for the past two days we had practice. on friday it was the three of us and we finally finished
the vocals on reality. we worked on all our songs to make them better. alec changed his solo a little bit on reality. also
we played master of puppets the full thing for the first time...it wasn't horrible lol. ah but it needs work were geting there.
we made two recordings, reality and my fire...i might put them up if i feel like it.
on saturday brad came over a little bit b/c he got an effects pedal so we were messing with it.
we came up with two song ideas which was aweseom and we just jammed. i sorta blew my voice out and now today it has tunred
into like strept throat or something...im not diagnosed b/c i dind't go to the dr. but thats wat it feels like..:( anway.
ya so we can't work much on that but doesn't mean we can continue workin on da music part. our two new songs are gonna be
called "the war song" and "speed"...oh ya and i also came up w/ an idea called "the no relaion rant" where we solo n rant
n shit...all of us so it'll be fun but ya w/e we'll see....ok thats it for now..later...oh ya..well theres a dispute but ull
find out more on that later...
1/23/05:
well we didn't get to go to that rockoff but we went to another place called orange street where they
do gigs and we got to see SWAMPING BOBULOUS!!!!. haha. they were so awesome. (a kickass band from our school). anyway, they
inspried us a little bit i think and the next day we were scheduled to have a band practice and it was a nice long and serious
one. we FINALLY go a drummer...again its cory. this time for real tho. he didn't come to practice b/c he coudln't drive in
the snow storm but its all good. i got to talk to him and get an idea of where he comes from. so NOW we will be practiceing
like how u see on tv b/c we finally got a friggin drummer. aaanwya. at our nice long and seroius practice, we started/finished
another song called "the hopeless". this one is pretty nice n it turned out really nicely. last weekend when we had 2 practicees
we wrote another song as well called "shadows tradition" which turned out pretty good as well. so now weve got about 5 1/2
songs under our belt. after accumilating the time, i figure we have enough minutes for battle of the bands once we learn master
of puppets. so we are almost ready for it and we have a couple months to perfect everything. ....a good thing.
also...i was talking to brad n this is wat we came up w/ that we worked on this weekend....like anybody
really cares..:
the hopeless
keyboard for my fire
drummer
reality singing
touched
oup shadows traditoin
did better on holiday lol
learned to cooperate at band practice n shit like that (create a "potentialed"
song at a practice)
and we all seem to be just gettin better and getting better at playing w/ each toehr (dont' take that
the wrong way lol jk)
1/12/05:
well its the new year and a whole...new year..no big deal really. anyway. we had
practice. i got my kickass big amp. and got a guitar stand which i can also use as a mic stand when not using it as a guitar
stand. so now we actually have practices like the ones you see on tv....sorta. except we practice in basements but that really
doesn't matter. im goin off again. (not like anybody reads this anyway). ehh....we have a 4 day weekend this week so sun.
and mon were having 2 long serious practices. well monday we are. sunday is like 3 hrs and then were going to a rockoff to
see some friend's bands and to see what its like so we can get prepared. the talent show is coming up but i dunno if were
gonna do it b/c we kinda forgot to practice n stuff but we'll see......
that's all for now.
12/29/04:
well not much going on. this winter break we didn't really get to have practice
b/c i was on vacation first week, alec second week, and brad has swim practice two times a day (that's harsh) at the worst
time possible. were planning on having on this saturday but we dunno quite yet. reality is / / this close to being done, and
were all coming up w/ new stuff. i had a spark and came up w/ some music n lyrics and alec came up w/ a new song
too i think and brads been improving his skills with our audio program to master it. i think in a couple of "serious"
practices, well have enough songs for a CD or close to one. well, we'll see waht happens.
12/05/04:
well this weekend we had a practice and the day after alec n i got together for
a "jam" where we did "pain for pleasure" for fun ( its under "two guyes just trying to have fun" in music). brad had a swim
meet so he woulnd't be able to come. we've almost completely finished reality. i have the drums made but..no drummer. and
the singing is done were pretty sure we just need to practice it a little more. more stuff's on the way so..yea.
oh ya...and we decided to change our name back to "No Relation" again.
11/29/04
well we had an ok practice today.we got some recordings but some got screwed up.
we worked on a lot of songs just for fun and worked on some of our own songs. we played a lot of greenday and fooled around
a lot. were gonna work a little bit more on my fire and maybe put a second guitar to it. also a dark and stormy night is starting
to shoot off and we got some other stuff coming up. ill put up more music. sorry i took off a bunch im running out of room.
there will be more there soon when we rap up a couple of these songs then well have a couple more. and they'll all be mostly
full songs no more tunes (maybe). singing, comin along. doin better. not as shy, getting more confortable w/ it. ya who
cares....
11/20/04:
well today was a really productive day. after my bday party we had a 3 hr band
practice and we got A LOT done. we finally finalized " the price of our lives" (aka revenge) , we started/finished ADD, My
Fire, sessioned Fall, and started on A Dark And Stormy Night. (htat's what its called for now). a dark n stormy night'll be
finished soon b/c i already got tabs i just gotta write em out for them. and we'll play around w/ it. so now we have 3 songs
and two 1/2 songs. we also have many more tunes to session as well but those are our main ones for now. oh ya and in case
i never said we changed our name again to "the kids in the corner". so ya were still playing w/ the idea etc. uh...none of
our songs have completled singing/lyrics yet. some have some lyrics or some singing or both but not finished or seomthing.
that'll be solved eventually. we are well on our way to battle of the bands and i think we'll do good. we made recordings
of the songs but they tunred out bad b/c my room isn't soundproof so theyt have echo. we'll probably redo em and eitehr put
those up or the echoy ones up we'll see. my singings coming alone ( i always say taht) and im getting more open w/ it......
...yea
oh ya i didn't get a guitar for my bday but i wansnt' really expecting to. so its
ok. ya w/e.
11/05/04:
well, not too much news but i feel like updating. my computer at home is messed
up a little bit so i sent it in to get fixed. so i can't update a whole lot untill i get it back, which'll probably
be in about a couple days (hopefully). our band is goign to play "still waiting" by sum 41 and we'll record this one for once
and put it up when i get my comp. set up. im gonna make a new CD too which'll be better and w/ more tuens and probably still
waiting and a couple of other songs we've played/wrote. the band is going up to Akron "Rhoades Arena" were we will see Sum
41 live in concert. the bad thing is that Good Charolette is playing too, put im bringing my tomatoes if u know what i mean:)
we'll have some fun w/ that. and also its a good inspirational thingy. in out next band practice we hopefully will finalize
(for good) revenge. im gonna have us sit down and finalize it..finish it. and we'll play still waiting and anyting else we
feel like.....ya...i think that's it. a lil too much for nothign happening but oh well.....
....MY B-DAY'S COMING UP!!!!
...maybe ill get a new guitar or something....nah....
...dammit.
10/26/04:
well yesterday i made a CD consisting of most of the bands songs tunes, etc. its
not like that big of a deal, its mostly b/c i was bored and also gonna be useds to the other band members have our recordings
and we can bring them to practice and work on tunes we forget to session and to improve etc. also WE FINALLY FOUND A NEW NAME!!!.
ok our name is now officially "metate". thers a story behind it, but i don't konw if i wanna say it yet about hwat the word
is and means etc. we made a new logo as well so ya. "no relation"...we'll miss ya, but face it, even "Crest" was a better
name than that. so ya i dunno we'll see where our name goes. im keeping hte same website for two reasons:
1) eveyone who knows about this site knows about htis one so im not gonna make
a new one...besides the name is so complicated u'd just click on a url somewhere instead of typing it so the address isn't
too important.
2) i don't feel like making another one and starting all over again.
...if u want out CD (nah...noone does) then ill sell it to u for a buck! itll help
our band so we can get enough money for new equipment etc. but most likely noone will buy it. im not putting it up on discography
b/c its not really a CD, its just a cd w/ tunes no really finished songs....we don't have a drummer.
thanks you
OK NEVERMIND!!! WE ARE NOT CHANGING OUR NAME TO METATE!!
we were gonna name ourselves that b/c in spanish it means "go kill yourself",whic hwas pretty funny,
but it also has an english meaning for like a table or seomting...really gay....also it sorta sounds like "akuda matata".
so were not gonna use it so nvm everything i said about it being out new name.
were gonna use no relation for now but were still looking for a new name
metate also kinda looks like metallica and we don't want to be mixed up w/ them.
10/08/04:
well today was probably the MOST PRODUCTIVE, best band practice we've ever had. first of all, i
gave a speach/ lecture i think gave us a better understanding of the band and each other etc, made us more confortable
w/ each other etc. my shiness is STARTING to go away w/ singing....and im getting better. the band fixed up revenge for the
um-teenth time and i think this is going to be our finalized version of it becasue it is really good now. i think. it wll
be posted up as revenge 1 finalize or something. the file on here isn't perfect, we screwed up but that's the basic idea of
the song so if u dont' like it then you can go buy your stupid linkin park CD's. we also sessioned a song were thinking about
calling "fall" but maybe not. its a very mellow song and we think its really good. again, in the recording, we messed up but
that's the just of it....also it was only a session...were gonna change it around etc. we also played self esteem today and
some other fun ones....our next offspring song is come out and play...(we play an offspring song per practice) we still haven't
practiced w/ cory, and now aaron is back into the picture b/c he might turn out to be our drummer. he's getting a drum set
and we would like having it the origonal four so we'll see what happens with that. that's abot all that happened but this
practice was our best practice yet.

well today we had a short band practice at brad's house. it was short but really productive. we got
a lot done. in spite of my strept throat i got some singing in and we played smells like team spirit for the first time, we
played total immortal, a little bit of the nephilim, and some other stuff. out of our songs, we finally touched up "revenge"
(were changing the lyrics and name) and recorded it. it should be up on the music section. the bass was a little high though
so it kinda got messed up.....it's not perfect but we'll redo it and have it pefect at the next practice. we were gonna session
on another tune, and ADD but we ran out of time, so we'll do taht another time. all in all, our practice was pretty productive
( i said htat already) and i hope to have more like that. also, we dunno if we should keep the name "no relation" or not.
please send me an email or IM me on AIM (okay2343) and let me konw what u think. also let me know if we SHOULD scratch the lyrics/title of revenge for our song.....THANKS.
PS alec and i are gonna play "the leaving song" because that song only needs vocals and acustic guitar.....so
it'll be our first completely finished song. yippy friggin doo. so we'll post that up and put it up w/ the real version (by
AFI) and you can compare. there.
August 28 2004- well today we had a band practice at alec's house as usual. he got
a metal distortion pedal so he sold me his old one. now we all sound cool. lol. we played for people over the phone who called
and it was good practice for when we play for an audience, but im not too worried about that b/c were pretty good i htink.
but ya w/e. were still trying to get brad to learn total immortal and were thinking about same direction by hoobastank cause
thats a cool song :). also were comming up w/ a new songs called ADD which i thikn is going to be a hit b/c its pretty funny/cool.
but we'll see how that works. im getting my ipaq fixed so ill be able to record stuff and brad got a new mic (i think i already
said that) so keep your eyes peeled for "revenge" "total immortal" "the kids aren't alright" " same direction" "manhunt" maybe,
" ADD" and much much more. also i think we MIGHT of found a drummer. that doens't mean that anybody else who wanted the job
can't becasue he might not join. we don't know yet. its all just out there, nothing official. its pretty much at 50/50 right
now so we really have no idea if he'll join or not, so if your a drummer still, PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL B/C WE NEED YOU BAD!!!!
ok well thanks a lot. im out.
August 24 2004- We had practice today and it wasn't the most productive practice
but we did get some stuff done. We practiced our one song called "Revenge" we got most of it down. So now were working on another song i came up w/ (no lyrics
yet) and were gonna work on totall immortal by AFI. so it'll be fun keep your eyes open for some song's becasue we'll be getting
them down soon, once brad gets his microphone fixed...........grrrr stupid vaccum....(who vaccumes a mic? seriously? )
August 23 2004
Well, i haven't really updated the website in a while. but this is pretty much
it. were pretty much raping up our first song. we have everything but some of the drum part. we kinda need a drummer for that.
we have a lot of songs that are about halfway done as well, so we are prepared to play at the rockoff this coming year which'll
be awesome. BUT WE STILL NEED A DRUMMER SO IF YOU DRUM LET ME KNOW!!!! my email is on the homepage. thanks you. now that school
is starting (sux) its gonna be a little harder to practice and brad doens't have any more bass lessons, but alec got lessons.
so we are gonna need to get brad some lessons cause there's still room for improvement for him and for all of us as well.
so...ya..
(June 17 2004)
Well, today Brad and I had a session. As usual, Jeromy wasn't home, and we couldnt
'find Alec. but we had a pretty good session, we came up w/ 3 new tunes, 2 by brad, and one by me...and we worked on each
others tunes to make them better. all in all it was a pretty good day. later we killed enemies in perfect dark, and went outside
to enjoy the day. We talked about what song we should play this next year at the rockoff, becasue we want to win and get the
prize money so we can buy our cd mixer, or anything else we need to get for the band. but im not going to tell you what we
play, its going to be a surprise!
the new tunes we came up w/ will be posted as soon as i get recordings of them=)
(June 15 2004)
Well, we didin't have a practice on the 13th, but we had it today and i think it
went pretty well. We got to record a lot of sessions, and we have pretty close to mastered the kids aren't alright (w/out
drums yet). were all getting really familiar w/ the band and instruments etc. and were all being real open minded to all our
ideas which is good. Alec rules as usual, and can't stop playing (im just kidding man) and im starting to feel good about
this......finally. in the end we put our instruments away and played an old fun classic, super smash brothers, although i
had to leave.....(stupid swimming).
well this whole band thing is really cool, were all bonding a lot better now, and
plus were having fun, and its good for us, and we may get famous for it too! im glad were all in this together..just need
to get jeromy to a practice....he's been on vacation or something.
im planning on getting thise hting.....it like records audio, its an mp3, a camcorder,
and a digital camera all in one. so i can record pretty much nythign i want and put it on this webiste...so sooner or later
this place is gonna get a lot cooler....but in a while...im saving for it.
also the band is saving for a cd mixer so we can make cd's. its 2000 dollars so
if u guyes wanna help...well g thanks. lol.
(June 13 2004)
Well, we are now in buisness! things are starting to look good and before u guyes
know it were gonna have our first cd out. Our plan is to have a practice today and now that were all finally familiar with
our instruments pretty well, were gonna get somewhere, and i think pretty fast too. we'll see.....
i pur up a new section called misselanious....., just basically miscilanious stuff....
my singing has improved....a lot......but i dunno......puberty really isn't helpin
me right now... we'll see.....:)
